If I'm following someone you think to be problematic (intolerance*, fake volunteer, grifter...) please tell me. I check before follow but some people hide their wicked minds or intentions sometimes.
*intolerance about ruSSia is fine tho, Слава Україні !

Why are democratic leaders so afraid of being honest to their constituents?
I'm not four years old. Just give me the score.
The loss of trust and seeming ineffectiveness are turning people to authoritarian leaders.

Can we get serious about stopping this slow march to fascism, please?

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

The U.S. cannot negotiate away another nation’s territory. “Recognizing” Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian land is a blatant attack on international law and a disastrous reward for aggression. No democracy should accept this. #StandWithUkraine

If the White House hands Putin Ukrainian territory without Ukraine’s involvement, whether by excluding them or by threatening to pull support, that makes the US an accomplice to Russia’s theft and war crimes.

Anecdotally, while I was looking for a source to refer to for this article with the search words ”Russia rejects US peace plan”, I found media articles on that topic from November 2024, February, May, June, September, and October 2025.
Made an effort to establish a timeline of this latest iteration of essentially the same old attempt by the Trump administration to force a peace deal, doomed to fail like the previous three times.
The number of plot twists would have been amusing, if it wasn’t so cruel to Ukraine.

Fair point. If the alt text contains all the text of the original post anyway, why not just post that and avoid alienating some users needlessly? Twatter might be (artificially) larger, but this does kinda irk me.

It also helps if your headlights are angled correctly. The lights aren't a huge problem if they point to the road instead of straight forward. But all lights become a problem when they're not. Even had to keep an old Picanto set to a step or two down to not bother people.
Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Yes, but it is also a fact now that there is a pattern to it.
As the saying goes, fool me once, shame on you, fool my twice, shame on me. The Europeans should no longer dellude themselves that a Trump/Vance US can be a reliable ally.

The Trump cycle on Russia-Ukraine. Some pro-Russian plan emerges. Instant commentariat renew their "Trump as Russian plant" stories. Plan is amended under EU (and US) pressure. Putin rejects it. Instant commentariat is puzzled. Rinse and repeat. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/u...
